In 1975, my father was a forestry instructor in the area of the Bay of Fundy. The last time there, about 5 weeks, our whole family gathered there in a small village called Alma, a fantastic experience for me, who was then 11 years old and for the first time got to fly from Sweden all the way to Canada. An amazing nature, and not to mention the lobster fishing, absolutely incredible. 🦀🦞🦀🦞🦀🍤🍤

You are really honing your craft and I'm enjoying the ride. I'll let you know when all those beautiful shore birds, after their epic migration, hit the beach down here in Panama. Their escorts will follow them all the way down, that's right, our friends the Peregrine Falcon. They perch on driftwood near the river mouths to watch over all those exhausted migrants, as they franticly gulp down mouthfuls of Titi in the tidal zone, just waiting for one to fall out of step. But I don't judge him, he's just doing his job. Thank you so much for the excellent video, and I'm glad to see you're traveling again, it has to feel good.

I saw many different shutter times for your photos. on what mode do you shoot? Are you selecting the shutter-time for every situation? I saw a 1/250th - for 600mm; do you have iron arms?!? ;-)

@StefanoIaniro

2 жыл бұрын

Majority of the time I'm on Manual but with Auto ISO. If the lighting situation is tricky, I'll go full manual. I tend to use 1/250th a lot since I'm constantly switching between photos and videos, and for 4k 120fps video, I'm usually using the shutter speed rule, which puts me at 1/250th. But otherwise I'm usually switching it depending the situation.

Hi Stefano, May I ask if the new software update for the Sony a1 really improved the IS? I read an artical which said it bacame much better, but noone really talked about it. Did you experience any change in real life use when taking videos? Thanks for answering!

Increadible, holy shit. …. Beautiful.

Great video as always! Hopefully you have not been asked this too many times, but are you using a ND filter when shooting video or are you just increasing the aperture when it gets brighter. At 5:18 it looks fairly bright when filming the "peeps." Are you shooting 4K 120p? If you recall your settings I'd be interested in your expertise? Thanks for your time.

@StefanoIaniro

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! And no ND filter on my 200-600, the 95mm filter size causes a bit of a headache. When it's brighter, what I like to do is be in 4k 120fps, and then adjust shutter speed to compensate for the brightness. Typically you want your shutter speed to be double your frame rate. But I find that makes a bigger difference when filming in real time (24fps for example). When I slow down my 120fps footage, even if I'm using a higher SS than 1/250th, I don't notice much of a difference. But for good measure I try to keep it as close to 1/250th as I can. If I recall correctly, this clip you're referring to must have been at 4K 120fps, f/6.3, 1/800th, Auto ISO (likely at 100).

As you mentioned the Sigma was good, but not in the same league as the Sony and the motor noise of Sigma was horrible when shooting video. If your travels every take you to Las Vegas bring your camera as it has an abundance of easily accessible birding areas. We certainly don't get the numbers of shorebirds at the Bay of Fundy, but I have shot images of over 20 species of shorebirds this year!

Hi, love your videos. I own the Sony A7R4 and 200-600mm, shifted from Nikon D850 & 200-500mm f5.6. Can you tell me how's the handholding capability with this Sony Combo ?

Hard to say considering what's easy for me to handhold, may not be easy for someone else.

What are the pros and cons of shifting from a7r4 to a1 ? Did you also contemplate shifting to the 400/600 prime ? But stuck with the a1 becaue its half the price for an an gareeable increase in light gathering ability ?

@StefanoIaniro

2 жыл бұрын

So far, the only one I can think of for how I shoot is price. Besides that, I can't really think of a scenario where I'd pick up the R4 over the a1. Maybe the slight drop in MP depending on what you're shooting. But I haven't found that to be a big difference for me. I'm eventually going to get one of the primes. Since I'm doing more and more video though, it's hard to justify the cost for a super telephoto fixed focal length. Having the zoom is very handy when it comes to filming, especially wildlife. I've also contemplated a 300 f/2.8 with both teleconverters, as a versatile prime option when it comes to video, but not anytime soon.
